On this episode of the Retro Wrestling Re-View USWA Podcast, Gene Jackson, Josh Briley, and Brian Tramel break down another wild week of USWA Championship Wrestling from July 1991, a show loaded with debuts, bizarre booking choices, and escalating chaos.The episode kicks off with Sabu, who is now billed Samu “The Mystery Man,” raising plenty of questions as Memphis audiences are asked to pretend they don’t already know exactly who he is. Meanwhile, Eric Embry continues his reign of annoying the Memphis babyfaces, lying with confidence, dodging consequences, and drawing out his increasingly heated feud with Jerry “The King” Lawler, which is now barreling toward a lumberjack showdown.The show also introduces the Barroom Brawlers, a rough around the edges team whose debut includes chair shots, confusion, and one of the most unintentionally funny promos in recent memory. Add in mud hole match insanity, Lawler squashing Judge Dread, and Memphis TV at its most unfiltered, and you’ve got another episode that perfectly captures why this era remains endlessly fascinating.On this episode:Samu (Sabu) debuts (again) as The Mystery Man (yeah, I don’t know either)Rob Van Dam’s early Memphis run and unconventional styleEric Embry’s greatest hits: lies, excuses, and chaosJerry Lawler asserts control with authority and violenceThe debut of the Barroom Brawlers and chair-swinging mayhemDr. Tom Prichard, Miss Texas, Dirty White Boy & Dirty White Girl collideMud hole matches, questionable promos, and classic Memphis energyIt’s another episode where logic takes a back seat to entertainment but it’s definitely fun, join us!If you're enjoying WrestleCopia and interested in helping us continue to grow, please consider Subscribing to our Patreon to help us cover some of our costs! https://www.patreon.com/wrestlecopiaYOU CAN ALSO GIFT SOMEONE A PATREON MEMBERSHIP (OR ASK THEM TO GIFT YOU ONE) AT https://www.patreon.com/WrestleCopia/giftIncludes the $5 “All Access” Tier $9 "VIP Superfan" Tier, and "The ULLLTIMATE Tier", featuring our various VIDEO-CAST Series, Early Show Releases, our insanely detailed show notes (for the Grenade, Monday Warfare, Regional Rasslin, Puro Academy, & Retro Re-View), monthly DIGITAL DOWNLOADS for your viewing and reading pleasure, & more!HELP SUPPORT THE SELF-FUNDED WRESTLECOPIA BRAND, CONSIDER DONATING TO OUR PAYPALWRESTLECOPIA MERCHANDISE - https://www.teepublic.com/user/wrestlecopiaVisit the WrestleCopia Podcast Network https://wrestlecopia.comFollow WrestleCopia on “X” (Formerly Twitter) @RasslinGrenadeFollow & LIKE our FACEBOOK PAGE – https://www.facebook.com/RasslinGrenadeSubscribe to the WrestleCopia Youtube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/RasslinGrenade ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
